Get to know us
We are ZIM&ZOU, an artist duo formed by Thibault Zimmermann and Lucie Thomas.




We began our journey as graphic designers, but very quickly discovered a shared passion for craftsmanship and, above all, for the endless possibilities of paper. Through years of experimentation, persistence and dedication, we gradually developed our own approach to paper sculpture, transforming this humble material into intricate, colorful and highly detailed artworks.
"Flying Faubourg" for Hermès Tokyo Ginza
Drawing inspiration from a wide range of sources, our work brings vibrant worlds to life, where the strength of the visual language meets the delicate and fragile nature of paper. From imaginary landscapes and fantastical scenes to iconic objects and familiar elements of everyday life, our creations tell stories that can be playful, dreamlike or nostalgic, but always carry a sense of poetry.

Over the years, we have had the opportunity to collaborate with some of the world's most renowned brands and institutions, including Hermès, the Nobel Prize Museum, TIME, Timberland or IBM.
These projects, along with exhibitions and artistic experiences around the world, have continually shaped and enriched our practice. Our work has been exhibited at the Salon de Montrouge, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, Daelim Museum in Seoul and the V&A in London, among others.
